“You’re doomed. How dare you assault an officer!” Xu Nan, being fearless, continued to give Ye Lingchen an icy stare.
Ye Lingchen shook his head, “The way you handle this is just too disappointing!”
“Lil’ Xu, what’s the matter?”
Another slightly chubby middle-aged police officer came into the bus.
Ye Lingchen released the female officer.
“Wang Dui, the criminal assaulted an officer publicly!” The female officer joined him.
Wang Dui first looked at Ye Lingchen, then asked in a calm and collected manner, “Can someone run me through the whole story?”
Very quickly, he pieced together the entire incident after receiving various input from the crowd.
“Wang Dui, it’s already evident that this guy is trying to scam and hurt someone. Furthermore, he dared to assault an officer. He needs to be severely punished!” Xu Nan threw a scornful look at Ye Lingchen.
“How many times have I told you, we must follow the proper procedure. We must not let our subjective bias and emotions get in the way, otherwise, we would easily resort to irrational decisions.” Wang Dui shook his head, then walked towards the middle-aged man. “Please show your IDs as well.”
The female officer pouted. To have the victims show their ID, that was just a redundant procedure.
However, the middle-aged man and old woman dilly-dallied for some time, unable to show their ID.
“You need your IDs to board the bus. It’s impossible that you forgot to bring it along right?” Wang Dui’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Finally, both of them produced their IDs.
Wang Dui gave them a quick glance, then his eyes turned cold, “These IDs are fake! Who are you?”
With the sudden change, everyone was caught off guard, at a loss for words with the ensuing shock.
The next moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes showed a murderous flash. He took out a flip knife that he prepared in advance, then put it to the neck of the besuited young man that was nearest to him.
“Nobody moves! Move away from me!”
The young man’s face turned white as chalk, almost passing out directly. He begged, “Bro, you’re a good man! It’s none of my business! I was on your side earlier, spare me please.”
“Shut the f*ck up! Another word and I’ll kill you!” The middle-aged man roared, his knife trailed down the young man’s neck, leaving a scratch mark in its wake.
“No more, I’ll say no more. Please don’t kill me…” The young man’s tears fell like a rain shower, his whole body shaking.
This… this…
At first, all the passengers on the bus hastily criticized Ye Lingchen, but at that moment, words failed them.
Those that were near shrunk away, wanting nothing more than to hide under their seats.
“Wang Dui, this…” The female officer was flabbergasted, clueless on what to do.
“Save your words, just back off…” Wang Dui replied with an ashen face.
“Back off all of you! Let us down the bus! I’ll kill those that get in my way!” The middle-aged man held onto the young man, slowly making his exit.
Along the way, the young man’s legs shook, a stream of liquid flowed forth.
He peed his pants!
“Big… big brother, this really has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to die…” The young man wanted to just kneel down and kowtow to him.
“Let the hostage go. I will guarantee your safety. Otherwise, no matter where you go, you won’t escape!” Wang Dui advised.
“If I can’t escape, I’ll at least bring someone along with me! It’s not my loss!” The middle-aged man’s eyes were filled with murderous rage. He looked at the police vehicle nearby, “Give me the car keys of the police car. Let me go!”
“Officer, please, please help me!” The young man’s pants were soaked, they reeked of a foul stench.
During the standoff, Ye Lingchen made his way over slowly, then casually said, “I’m the one you should hate. Why not, I will be your hostage in his place.”
All eyes were on Ye Lingchen. Their gazes showed extremely complicated feelings.
The young woman bit her lip and looked at Ye Lingchen’s back, a sudden daze came over her.
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Lingchen, his eyes flashed with a bone-deep feeling of vengeance. Through gritted teeth, “Sure! You get over here. Don’t try to pull any funny tricks!”
Just as Ye Lingchen was half a meter away from the middle-aged man, his murderous intent exploded forth. The knife in his hand stabbed directly towards Ye Lingchen’s neck!
“B*stard! Go to hell!”
“Be careful!” The female officer and the young woman both warned at the same time.
Ye Lingchen’s expression remained unchanged. He jumped, seemingly floating as he executed a roundhouse kick. The kick landed heavily on the middle-aged man’s head.
Bang!
Without warning, the middle-aged man was immediately knocked out.
Ye Lingchen shrugged as if it was nothing.
“Brother, nice move!” Wang Dui exclaimed his praise and walked towards him immediately.
Seeing the besuited young man that peed his pants from the traumatic experience, he frowned slightly, “Lil’ Xu, make a call. There’s a victim here in shock, have someone come over to get him.”
“Also, take a picture of these two and send it over to HQ. Have them investigate their background.”
“Alright.” Xu Nan nodded, then took a glance at Ye Lingchen, “Wang Dui, what the heck just happened?”
“Brother, you’re the one that caught them. You explain.” Wang Dui smiled at Ye Lingchen, “Lil’s Xu just graduated from the Police College and is still an intern. She lacks experience so I hope you do not mind.”
Xu Nan blushed, looked embarrassingly at Ye Lingchen while remaining silent at the side.
“It’s fine.”
Ye Lingchen nodded, then explained, “Normally, parents would take great care of their child. If the child cries, they will be worried.”
“However, the child was crying for a full 30 minutes until the child’s voice turned hoarse, yet those two people were unconcerned. That was very suspicious.”
His words caused the passengers to be embarrassed, especially the young lady. She was sitting next to Ye Lingchen, yet she thought nothing of it.
“After that, I purposely threw a tantrum just to test their reaction.”
“Who would have known that they did not even carry a bottle. Most importantly, they even secretly stuffed biscuits into the child’s mouth hoping to stop the child’s cries!”
Xu Nan’s expression changed, looked towards the child’s mouth. She discovered biscuit crumbs, then scolded, “Those scumbags!”
“How could an infant eat biscuits? This child is obviously not theirs!” Ye Lingchen continued his deduction, “I continued to play up the matter, and when they heard someone mention calling the police, they were clearly flustered. With that, I guessed that they are very likely traffickers!”
Ring ring ring!
At that exact moment, Wang Dui’s phone rang.
“Hello, it’s me… hm, alright. I understand.”
Wang Dui ended the call, “These two are confirmed traffickers. They are from the group of traffickers that have acted most savagely in the vicinity of Beijing. They have been wanted by the police for five years, and they have already kidnapped more than a hundred children!”
“With these two under arrest, we might be able to track them down and destroy the entire organization in one fell swoop!”
Such words roused everyone’s heartbeat, transforming the way they viewed Ye Lingchen.
Xu Nan stared at Ye Lingchen, awestruck. She had learned about solving crime in the Police College, but she knew full well that she would not be able to see through everything as he did.
Thinking back on how she tried to arrest Ye Lingchen right off the bat, she felt a strong sense of shame burning.
Wang Dui raised his hand and saluted at Ye Lingchen, proclaiming, “Brother, I thank you in place of all the family members of the victims!”
“It’s just a coincidence. Wang Dui you’re being too kind.”
With criminals around, Wang Dui did not dare to delay. He escorted the criminals off after a few short exchanges.
